In 1974 the statutes for the Riksdag were changed with the so called new Riksdagsordingen. The new regulations, amongst others, arranged a very simple and businesslike State Opening. But also more political changes as workings of the Parliament, etc. Since then no longer the Rikssalen with Queen Christina's Silver Throne, the Chamberlains in hovuniform, the ladies in hovdräkt, no longer the Knights of the Kungliga Serafimerorden in full splendour watching from the loges, no longer the Nobility witnessing the splendid proceedings.
